Hot Towel Shave

The classic barbershop ritual — slow, luxurious and incredibly smooth.

An Experience Worth Slowing Down For

The hot towel shave is one of the oldest grooming traditions and it remains one of the most satisfying. At Bedtition, we have refined the process into a multi-step ritual that leaves your skin feeling renewed.

We begin with a steamed eucalyptus towel to soften your stubble and open your pores. A rich, warm lather is applied by hand before our barber makes careful passes with a straight razor. A cold towel follows to close pores, and we finish with a soothing aftershave balm.

Step by step

  • Pre-shave oil application
  • First hot towel wrap with eucalyptus essence
  • Hand-whipped lather application
  • First pass with straight razor (with the grain)
  • Second hot towel and re-lather
  • Second pass (across the grain) for extra smoothness
  • Cold towel to close pores
  • Aftershave balm and moisturiser

The full experience takes roughly 40 minutes. It is perfect before a big event, a date night or simply when you want to treat yourself.
